Ntlonyane (breezy)
Edit SpotAbout
Beautiful area, well worth a visit in my opinion. Easily one of the best spots I surfed in S.A. for the size, on that occasion at least.
Atmosphere:
I surfed this place in Aug 2000 only once, so don't take my word for gospel. It was about 3'-4', hollow, fast and challenging. I would imagine at 6' it would be unbelieveable. Breaks on sand held in place by rock for the most part. It's supposed to be consistent and pretty much always uncrowded (probably because of the remoteness).
Additional Info:
VERY bad reputation for sharks: Don't surf alone, late at night or early in the morning, or if the water is cloudy. Apparently has one of the worse reps for shark attacks in S.A.! Some guy was caught a few years ago while his mates were getting suited up. Use your head, like anywhere, and you won't regret it.
